"I just ate a little more, lifted weights and stayed here – didn't go off on any vacations," he said Tuesday as the Titans began a three-day minicamp. "I just stayed here and lifted the whole time."

The former University of Tennessee standout caught 18 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns last season. He averaged almost 20 yards per reception, but said he doesn't think his increased weight will slow him down.

"I feel like I got stronger in my legs, so I can push a little harder," he said. "As long as I beat (the defender), I'll be good."

Hunter was a deep threat, but believes the added muscle could help when he goes over the middle because he feels "a lot more" confident about "being able to withstand injury."

"I'm not worrying about contact," he said.
